My Background

I'm Winifred Abramson, ND, the founder of Healthy Green Lifestyle. I am a naturopathic doctor, and I'm passionate about holistic nutrition, optimal wellness, and green living. I also love to write, and that's why there are many, many pages on this website for you to enjoy.

I live in New Paltz, NY and I have been interested in food, health, and protecting the environment for most of my life.

My parents owned a restaurant in New York City in the 1980s and 1990s (called The Quilted Giraffe) and I practically grew up in the restaurant�s kitchen. I also studied cooking in both France and Japan while still a teenager.

In my late teens and early twenties, I had some health issues. A wonderful holistic medical doctor introduced me to the world of alternative medicine. I got better using an entirely nutritional approach. I was amazed.

I spent several years studying therapeutic diets and herbal medicine on my own before deciding to pursue a degree in naturopathic medicine.

I graduated with my doctorate from Seattle's Bastyr University, the leader in science-based natural medicine, in 1998.

I spent some time in private practice, but after my 2 kids were born I decided I wanted to work from home. I have been working as a health and nutrition writer ever since.

How I Built This Site

A year or so ago, I decided I wanted my own site dedicated to natural health and green living, yet I had no clue how to build a website.

I didn't have any computer or web design skills, and I was afraid it was going to cost me a fortune to have someone else build my site. In May, 2008, I started to research whether I could actually make my dreams of having my own website a reality.

Everything I read led me to believe that it was indeed possible, and that Site Build It was the way to go.

When I looked at all of Site Build It's Tools, I just did not see how I could go wrong, and I have not been disappointed. I am amazed on a daily basis at all that SBI offers for a very reasonable cost. Believe me when I say you have nothing to lose. Just take a look at the SBI Video Tour.

SBI is not a get rich quick scam by any means, though- building your site and building your business is work!

But as long as you are motivated, and you have Site Build It and the SBI community with you every step of the way, you can work on your own terms, at your own pace, from your own home, and build a business based on your personal knowledge, your hobby, your skills, your passion- you decide. As a work-at-home-mom and the founder of Healthy Green Lifestyle, I find this to be an incredibly enjoyable and satisfying way to work- I love SBI and I promise you will love it too.
